He did a stand-up show about it which is pretty good (I have it on audio). Funniest bit for me was when they realised the law didn't specify what form the written request had to take and were sending them in iced on cakes and so on.

Are we on a "gently caress the nobility" kick now? Because my oh my the things I could tell UKMT.
My boss avoids paying millions in tax every year by turning his castle business into a charity run by a trust. A trust of which he is the principal trustee along with his wife and a bunch of his professional mates he knew at school. He pays no tax on the castle while living in it at a token rent (few grand a year) and pays no tax on the £25m endowment or the money that earns by being invested. Obviously the castle doesn't pay any tax on the profits it makes as an attraction - this was useful at first because the castle didn't make a profit anyway so he wasn't losing out on anything, just avoid the taxes with no drawbacks. As soon as the castle visitor numbers went up he spun the gift shop and restaurant off into private enterprises under his control (and which he takes the profit from) which just happen to be located inside the castle which is a charity. lmao.

He also paid no capital gains or inheritance duties on the death of his father by making a gift to the nation of certain portraits - portraits which are on permanent loan to the duchy and cannot be moved. This agreement was also purely a gentleman's agreement and nothing was actually put into writing until about 10 years after the agreement was made, so that's just great.

His butler had the cheek to accuse my direct boss of "always being after a free lunch" because the duke invites him over there sometimes. I pointed out that the Duke's entire life has been one long free lunch, to which the Butler said basically "actually no he had to slum it too - all he owned was a garbage truck company and a car dealership before he inherited the dukedom!" lmao boo loving hoo.

Funerals are becoming so hard to afford that some people are burying relatives in their back gardens, according to an MP. :unsmigghh:

I'm now working in the oil industry, at the rate of 25 quid an hour. The people who employ me are overjoyed at my abilities to use Excel to process information and create such exotic things as charts and pivot tables. The typical employee there is over 50 and actively considering early retirement. The industry is missing a generation of engineers and technicians because the City nicks all the clever engineering graduates. I loving wish I'd learned about this situation many years earlier than I actually did.

A stir fry can be thrown together quicker amd cheaper than a mcdonalds and would be healthier too.

E: and given that i earn about 10k year and spend 11hrs a day commuting+working, and still make sure to eat somewhat healthily, any arguments about lack of time or money can gently caress right off

Not everyone knows how to do this, or has the time to go shopping for ingredients. It may be quick for you but for some it could take hours.

This isn't some bourgeois esoteric cuisine - you literally throw some noodles, chopped peppers and (if you like) some prawns or diced chicken or whatever into a hot pan for less than five minutes and then dump them all onto a plate together.
It is literally less complicated than beans on toast, and all of the ingredients can be bought at a Co-op for £3 - nearly half the price of a meal at McDonalds.

I think you're speaking from a position of enormous privilege. Reality check: some people aren't as capable of cooking as you are.

If you're not capable of using simple household utensils you're probably not fully capable of living alone to begin with and should have regular assistance from somebody who can cook for you.

Agreed poors should be in specially designed homes where their meals are provided

maybe they could be encouraged to exercise for a few hours each day as well

they could stay there for a few years at a time

I didn't say poors should be in homes - I said people incapable of using a frying pan (implying mental or physical incapacity) should receive care assistance to allow them to live a life which includes such things as eating hot food without resorting to fast food as a staple. But gj getting your panties in a bunch.

there was once a time when socialism embraced the mass production of food as the way toward women's liberation...

I'm all for mass production of food. I think food should be cheap and plentiful. I don't advocate that everybody should be eating artisanal delicacies made only from fresh organic ingredients.
Even if you have time for nothing other than throwing some chips and frozen chicken fillets in the oven, and a pot of peas on the stove, it's better than a loving pizza for the 5th night running.

I go shopping on the same day every week and plan all my meals over the week so I know what to buy, and that way I can take advantage of supermarket multibuy options like 3 for 2 etc. It just requires some forward thinking. If you know you're paid every friday, go shopping on saturday.

check your forward planning privilege. not everybody is as capable of thinking as you. The only way to ensure the poor don't starve en masse is to pump McDonalds directly into our face holes via feeding tubes every 6 hours.

Dinner for me tonight has been a frozen pizza with some extra grated cheese and a couple of Pepperami sliced on top.
loving gourmet :getin:

I probably would have had soup, but my train was cancelled this evening because a vehicle hit a bridge on a different train line. I actually had a pavlovian 'gently caress you' response to the announcer telling us it was cancelled. Hate those loving controllers.

I don't know if it's a national or regional thing but the robot announcements on my route don't even say trains are late or cancelled anymore. It just goes "The 1803 Southern Service to blah blah is now due to arrive at 1901" That's it. Drives me loving mental. The progression of disruption message formats I can remember over the years is:

"I am sorry to announce...."

"We are sorry to announce..."

"Southern is sorry to announce..."

And then what we have today. It's like as the years go by the train operator gradually tries to use language in such a way as to divorce itself from... itself.... and absolve any and all responsibility for, or connection with, the timely and efficient running of the service.
